Come near to God, and [God] will come near to you. - James 4:8 (CEB)

For a couple of years now, our seven-year-old grandson has come to spend a week of his summer vacation with us. We are excited when he comes to visit because we get to have some quality, one-on-one time with him. We get to know him on a more personal level...

Today's Prayer
Dear God, we hunger to know you. Thank you for the opportunities you provide us each day to be close to you. Amen.
